The packages are on the AUR:. So now it sounds like you are saying I need the "bfwcutter" package, so I will download that from somewhere? OK, I tried that and got to the end of the tutorial on the wiki and rebooted my computer and still nothing.
Well, you now have the right module and the right firmware installed in the right places. All that's missing is a better description of your issue - I mean, something slightly more verbose than "rebooted and still nothing". The bad news is that I honestly have no clue why it's working. I just turned it on today and it was working. So either it needed a second reboot, or last time I wasn't a super user when trying to bring wlan0 up. Atom topic feed.

These instructions are not old and are not out of date. They also work. I use them myself. Anyway, compiling ndiswrapper is a valid solution if you can't get it to work for some reason.
This script didn't quite work for me so i started going through step-by-step and have a few questions Wondering if there are suggestions for this. Thanks for your continued support of this thread compwiz18 et al. Make sure you have the ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils New member, prob old problem.
I've just joined after finally and for the second time getting into Linux. I tried Fedora Core 4 a while back but never got my networking going so I dropped it.
But I'm here now on Ubuntu 7. From a clean Gutsy install I untar the script to the desktop and run it. The power light on the card flashes and is recognised in the device manager but no connection manual or roaming available.
After a restart nothing changes. Any help would be hugely appreciated. This was solved by installing Wicd : 1. Perform update and install the program: sudo apt-get update apt-get install Wicd 4. Thank you! I just tried a 32bit install instead of Amd64 and everything is working. I guess I'll stick with this then. But anyone know why I couldn't get wifi working on 64bit Gutsy?
I'd prefer to be using my CPU to its fullest. Thanks for the files and the how-to. After following the ndiswrapper steps I could scan and see the ap, but not associate with the network. It kept timing out. I added a line 'auto eth1', rebooted and like magic networkmanager was able to join the network.
I followed option 2 in this guide, and now I dont even have the option to connect wirelessly. When i right-click the NetworkManager, the wirless option doesnt even show anymore, and I still can't connect to the internet. I tried option 1, but when i enter the first command: "sudo ndiswrapper -a 14e bcmwl5" it says "sudo: ndiswrapper: command not found" and Im pretty much stuck there. Any help would be grand. Thanks in advance BTW: im running Fiesty.
Did you make sure the Ubuntu CD was in your drive?? Got a card configg'ed in a few minutes, after puttin' in a new disk. Now I can do modprobe I followed this method ie. If I use the Restricted drivers I get a list of the networks in my area, however the performance is terrible. This forum was so helpful, I actually joined the forums just to thank the poster. I am using BackTrack 2. I was so disappointed when I couldn't get wireless support for this distro. This actually worked under Slax, and being a Linux newbie, I was very happy to see it did.
This guide was well written. Go for the win! A thousand internets for this one. Thank you very much. I had to post and say thanks. I thought I'd be trying to get my wireless running for days I tried many different things so I do not consider my install even remotely 'fresh'. It still worked great. Cannot thank you enough! I have wrestled with the Broadcom wireless card in my Dell Latitude laptop for months- sometimes it worked ndiswrapper , sometimes it didn't, especially in WPA protected networks.
Last week, I solved the problem for good. I bought an HP nc notebook with an Intel PRO wireless card in a liquidation sale, and it worked right out of the box. I will either replace the Broadcom card in my Dell laptop with an Intel or an Atheros one, or sell the Dell laptop. I truly appreciate the help in this thread I have received in the past, but Broadcom should have started to support Linux a long time ago.
Good bye, Broadcom! How exactly do I do that? I'm trying to get my working using all the helpful posts here, but it seems that package manager s are open. Thanks, Shawn. Thanks, Shawn No worries : Just make sure that you don't have any other programs open when you run the script and you'll be fine.
Thank you very very much, you guys rock. This was my very first linux install, and I'm happy to report that everything works now. Hello all! An ex-Windoze user who made the jump to hyper-space and installed Kubuntu 6. I suppose that shows determination no?

Can you translate this? Lettura della lista dei pacchetti in corso Great, thank you :D Try using Synaptic to reload the package lists I'm not sure how well that will work if you don't have an internet connection, but if you have a wired connection or something, that would work and see if you can install ndiswrapper-utils from there. Thanks so much for all your help in my efforts!
I guess its something like "adept package manager" or am I wrong? What code should I use i'm beginning to get friendly with the Konsole, I love how it gives you instant gratification when you see things happen and install all on their own after inserting code!
I have done 3 fresh installs and tried to use this guide with the files provided. When running sudo. And it never finishes I am this close to giving up on Linux if I cannot get my wireless to work. I have tried this guide, using the fwcutter and also the restricted drivers. I also have used the drivers from my windows install and all other walkthroughs that I could find to no avail.
If this chipset is so common why is it not functional out of the box. I have a gateway mx with the broadcom chipset and none of the guides seem to be working for me. I am tired of using Linux with an ethernet cable plugged in. Beyond that where I work we sell an IO Gear adapter that is supposed to work out of the box no extra drivers but why?
I have tried both the "native" bcm43xx driver and the ndiswrapper driver. Both work So, the symptoms are with both drivers that the driver appears to work ok, I can scan networks within range -- but it will not connect to the routher, or if it does it is very, very unreliable and drops out.
It may also be worth noting that I got myself into a big mess with many different flavours of driver, and it ended up that I couldn't get any of them to work. So, I did a fresh install and have tried again using only the methods described in this thread. I had previously tried turning off IPv6 -- but this did not help the problem either note, that on the fresh install i.
My Router is set up to accept any MAC address. It shouldn't conflict with the "native" driver as it is blacklisted three times no less! So, it scans ok and can see the router that I would like to connect to. There's a good signal strength as there should be All rights reserved. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, that would be absolutely tops! Many thanks, Michael. Can you post the log file found on your desktop?
And make sure all packages managers are closed and the Ubuntu CD is in the drive. Many thanks, Michael The only thing that might be helpful for you is to try using iwconfig essid wantok channel 7 ap A5:CF2 to setup up the wireless card. You may want to run that command 2 or 3 times because sometimes it doesn't work the first time don't ask me why and then run dhclient. Sorry - I didn't realize you were using KDE. Just close Adept or apt-get and then try the script. The only thing that might be helpful for you is to try using iwconfig essid wantok channel 7 ap A5:CF2 to setup up the wireless card.
G'day Compwiz, Thanks for the suggestion. I just gave that a try, and no luck tried it like four times. Previously when I got it working before changing drivers and fresh installs etc.
I did get it connected occassionally -- but it was unstable and really slow Any ideas as to what might be causing the problem is it the 32bit card v 64 bit motherboard? If all hope is lost, then is getting a different card likely to fix the problem? Thanks again for your help. Are you running amd64 Ubuntu on that computer? And do you have another OS Windows?
Also, do you have any encryption on your network? If you don't get it working, I'll boot the computer with the in it up and find the output of lshw -C network for you, and we can see what mine says.
When I execute the line: " sudo. When I press enter, the cursor just moves down a line, and I don't beleive the package is installed. G'day compwiz, Thanks for getting back to me again! I really appreciate the time and thought that you're putting into my problem. The processor, motherboard and graphics cards are all 64 bit, while the network card seems to be 32 bit.
My old desktop runs 32 bit Gutsy Xubuntu. This has given me an idea I could try putting the wireless card in the 32 bit machine and see if I have more success on that one. Well, you wont believe it I stuck the card into my old 32 bit machine, let Xubuntu do its thing and install the firmware drivers via the Restricted Drivers GUI and the result I connected first try manually , with not a single tiny incy wincy little problem. There goes many, many, many hours of my life down the drain :mad: Next stop, a computer store with a 64 bit card that has open source drivers!
It would be interesting to know whether changing the OS to 32 bit would make it work, but I suspect not, as others with the same chipset have seemingly had it working on 64 bit -- so it must be some kind of strange hardware conflict going on inside the guts of the machine.
You could try the 32bit live CD and see if that works, but it might be tricky to do A possibility, but I might give it a miss because 1 I gave my 32 bit live CD to a friend from interstate who was visiting he is thinking about making the linux switch and 2 it does sound a bit tricky doesn't it ; cheers, Michael. This was the easiest problem I have had to solve in Ubuntu yet. Worked like a charm. Now if I could only do the same with my Toshiba laptop I suppose I'd need a wireless care to make that happen ;- Thank you for all the time you put into this making it so easy for so many people like me, Hyden.
Im sorry, but this script didn't work for me I'm using Gutsy. But even when I change that didn't work out. The way I find to get my card working is using ndisgtk the gnome frontend for ndiswrapper , and installing the driver posted in this page. I hope this could help to anyone. Regards, Pablo.
I just wanted to add my 2 cents worth. I own an acer with this particular network card and I found it quite a bit of trouble getting this card to work.
But I think I've solved this one - or at least got it to work like this: First, I followed Compwiz18's instructions to the dot. Insert Ubuntu CD 2. Download bcm Extracted via tar -xf 4. After it finished, I restarted. At this point, I'd come to step 8 of Compwiz18's post, but I found that forsberg's post strangely unorganized and confused me. After that, I just installed it and now the connection's up and at them toobs for a bit. I hoped this helps someone out there.
When I press enter, the cursor just moves down a line, and I don't beleive the package is installed I have the same problem. Cursor jast moves down and nothing else. What is wrong? Unfortunately I have a broadcom chipset. I have tried many different threads and this one was the last one and no good results neither :. HI guys, guide worked for me BUT, i still have problem when I restart the computer.
Any idea thks. Ariel Can you post the rest of your log file? I have checked blacklist, but no This was the one of the reasons why after reboot a lot of people lose their wireless connection.
Make sure you run the following command just to make sure. Maybe this could be worked into the script? This is in the script, and it is also what I was going to suggest you try next too. I'm new to this Ubuntu experience.
I just installed it on a Dell Inspiron m Laptop. My first challenge was getting the wireless to work and your post resolved my issue. I'm posting to you through my wireless connection! Oh and BTW my card is a different version and it still worked! Broadcom Corporation BCM I need what else I can do with Ubuntu. Thanks for your post. Can you post the log file on your Desktop?
It should be called bcmsetup. I couldn't make it work in Dapper but it works now in Gutsy. Hey Compwiz, Do you think you could make an updated version for Hardy?
I just upgraded to the beta and I've been using your script now since Dapper. I look forward to using it again, but there isn't a Hardy version. I have a Dell Inspiron m with a Broadcom wireless controller. After tinkering with this issue for a day, I stumpled upon this guide and cured my frustrations. Thank you for the guide! Compwiz: I second the request for updated how-to for Hardy. It seems folks are experiencing another set of issues that have not been seen in previous versions.
I can not vouch for the validity of the problems or the solutions reported here, only that in the ops' minds they exist and they are not like the reporting I have seen in previous two to three versions of Ubuntu.
Thu Apr 3 Gutsy release detected. Thu Apr 3 You appear to have an i system Thu Apr 3 Log of tar -xf drivers I have been trying to get a Gateway MX laptop wireless working for a few weeks now and this "Howto" version suggested by The Raven did the job I have to do steps 13 thru 19 each time I boot - my next effort!
I am running Ubuntu 7. My BCM is working as you can see I am having problems in rebooting and have to do a "sudo -i" and "modprobe ndiswrapper" each time to get it going. How do I undo this command, as dirty wireless is better than no wireless? What do you think the problem is?
But I still have to do steps 13 thru 18 on The Ravens procedure to kick start wireless! Regards and thanks for help to this level. I cleaned up my extra ndiswrappers and was out of town for 4 days, came back, started the beast and was asked which wireless net I wanted I'mso happy Thanks again.
Thank you for taking the time to put this out there - it was ever so quick and painless on a fresh install of Gutsy on a Compaq V Oh man, when I think of all the times I've had to hack this bloddy wireless!!!
Your help is much appreciated :KS. I spend about half a year to get this wireless lan card running. Now with your help i got i in half an hour! I can't get it working in Hardy theres nothing under drivers, i use linuxwireless.
I have absolutely no internet on my machine when i have ubuntu running, it used to work, but i lost my install disk, and when i re downloaded 7. Thanks, the guide on the first page of this worked for me. I'm new to Ubuntu and linux, but I got my network card working on my old dell laptop. I did read: "Hardy This process is vastly simplified in Hardy. The easiest way to do it is to open the Hardware Drivers program go to the System menu in the top left corner of the screen, and click Administration, and then Hardware Drivers and check the Broadcom B43 wireless driver box, and reboot.
Result: "No propietary drivers are in use on this system". So there is no wireless box to check at all. I'm a newbie with Ubuntu, any help on newbie-level is higly appreciated. I notice you have a Broadcom I only have experience with the , so you'd probably be best off posting a new thread for help : Chances are your card is a newer version then Hardy knows about.
I am using Hardy and I was able to enable the proprietary driver, but even then it does not work. This tutorial worked fine with Gutsy. Now when I enable the driver, the card displays 2 solid lights on it. When working in Gutsy, only on light lit and the other one was on when it was transmitting data.
I tried the method used to get it working on Gutsy with Hardy and that does not work either now. It seems to turn the card on, but as I said above, 2 lights are lit all the time and Hard does not see the card in Network Setup. Janno2: I am new to Ubuntu also, but I did notice I had to connect my computer to the internet before I could select the driver in proprietary drivers.
I just hard wired the computer long enough to turn the driver on. Still didn't work for me, but it did bring the card to life, so may work for yours. Can someone get the script working again in hardy to get the nice speed back with the ndiswrapper?
I got the script installed, it warns that no ubuntu version up to 7. Please, i want the speed back so i can move to Hardy! OK, I'll update the script with ndiswrapper for Hardy soon less then 24 hours from now, hopefully :KS. Your scripts have saved my butt in the past - thanks in advance! So close! Help us, Obi Wan!
You're our only hope! I fiddled with my router, based on various Googling.
